Police in Gambia have Wednesday, February 22, rounded up more officers of the dreaded former National Intelligence Agency (NIA) in the government of Ex-President Yahya Jammeh.
The new arrested officials are Louis Gomez, who was NIA deputy Director when the late UDP member Solo Sandeng was tortured to death; Haruna Suso and Dawda Ndure, who are both NIA operatives and Lamin Sanyang, the NIA medic, have all been arrested today and currently detained at the Police Headquarters in Banjul.
The arrests of these officials follows the arrest on Monday of the former Director General of the Agency Yankuba Badjie and Director of Operations Sheikh Omar Jeng who are currently detained at the Police headquarters helping officials in their investigations.
These six officials arrested so far have always been blamed for acting ungodly by executing arbitrary arrests, detention, tortures etc just to please former Dictator Yahya Jammeh.
Arbitrary arrest, tortures, disappearances and killings were the order of the day during the 22 years rule of ex-president Yahya Jammeh.
Meanwhile, under the command of the erstwhile chief of the agency Yankuba Badjie, the deputy director Louis Gomez, NIA operatives chief Sheikh Omar Jeng with Haruna Suso, Dawda Ndour, and other members of the feared agency have since been blamed by many Gambians for teaming up with former President Jammeh’s deadly squad of Junglers to execute ungodly operations in the country while Lamin Sanyang, the medic was always instructed to fake health reports of torture victims.
The new government of President Adams Barrow has since vowed to bring all perpetrators to justice, adding that this has absolutely nothing to do with witch hunting any individual.
